I feel your pain!

My motorcycle's tires (usually the rear) have been magnets for puncture producing debris.
Once I rode from Big Sur to Pasadena (at least 300 miles) wondering why my new
Yamie 900 Secca needed constant corrections to go in a straight line. Low rear tire
pressure from a small nail was the reason. Here's a pic of the most recent episode.
Big fat tappered (but not particularly sharp tipped) bolt.... well into my bran new Michelin!
I pulled it out then blasted the defect with some hot suace in a squeeze bottle from
an outdoor eatery I was in front of. No bubbles. Tire pressure seemed to be holding
over the next week and then on the next backroad ride I took the old ZX-11 up
to 160mph and am still around to type this.... so I guess I'll just run out the tire.
